The 172 cup also has no sound deadning through out.. having driven all the MK2 Clio sports in standard form, the 172 cup does seem to feel more in tune with the driver... Could all just be in the mind but 90kgs is alot of weight..
Its a 330mm, In my eyes, Perfect size! went out last night for the first "test" drive with it so to speak & it really does completely change the feel of the car, torque steer feels alot more present along with the feedback which all adds to the raw feel which is just what a hothatch needs...
Unlikely, Got the track day 2 days before so i think the car could be in need of some serious love that weekend let alone it being shown off at the mighty FCS lol
If your heading up to FCS swing by the JMS workshop on your way home & check out the cars, Will more than likely be all 3 JMS cars...

New toy arrived in the post for the money pit this morning :D now ever since installing buckets i knew i needed a better steering wheel, I was set on the Cup racer one but after seeing an omp one on Adamio's project thread i decided the OMP was the way forward so walla...
Nice little project mate, How you finding the OMP steering wheel compared to standard? thinking of going back to a race steerig wheel again but the OMP comes in alot better priced & looks just as good from your pics, Have you found the boss kit has moved it much closer to your self at all?
Thanks mate, I dare add up all the hours work that has gone into it and not to mention all the head scratching etc lol
The great thing about the carpet is it does look really tidy & weigh's less than 300 grams, Puks of Audio carpet ;), Strenth is not really an issue as the capet will just flow...

With the track day only around the corner i have been working down the list of small to-do's so this weekend while working around other cars in the workshop was my gearbox oil
The Renault main dealer near me claims gearbox oil should last the life of the car.. I've...
Knew you would put your 2 pence in on my "luxury" track car sir burp :rasp:
Thanks mate, Hope you enjoyed the read :D
Thanks geezer, Shes back, And in my opion even better than the last famous Shires meet when you took shotgun in the silver rocket, got a few final touches then i think...
Thought you were keeping runners dude? We could have bolted the Bimarco's s to that set-up, Still must have saved some weight ;)

Only pics though!
Couple of better ones from inside
And a few shots of my boot net fixing points, These hooks can be found under your driver/passenger side seats, all you will need to do is open them from an 8mm >> 10mm hole & you can bolt right through them into the...
Now that cant be real! Man some people must have more money than sense to be handing a motor like that over to some one thats not spent more than £30 on products
Look under your driver & passenger seat, Should have to loops on a bracket doing nothing, remove them & open the hole from 8mm >> 10mm & bolt to the old ISO bar points, Job done ;)

Sorry dude, Is important though for keeping track of cambelt/aux changing, last thing you want is that going because you "thought" it was good for another 20k, could be just that the standards failed though :)
Drop me a PM if you need any info on the Bimarco's mate, If your in the area you can drop by and check out one of the JMS Stripped out 172's which run the Bimarco's :)
